I've written a little bit about how my capsule is put together but
the basic overview is this.  Molly Brown runs in a container that has
read-only bind mounts to the document root and the bare git repository.
The former is updated by a git post-receive hook running on the server
that hosts the filesystem, the latter is the actual repository so that
one can browse it via the git.gmi cgi.

Off the top of my head, you could have your container's entry point do
a git clone of your github repository into your in-container document
root and just restart the container every time you want an update.
